Journey to the West: Swallowed the Transformation Pill at the beginning

Chapter 218 Liu Bei prepares to capture Qingzhou

"Enough!"

Zhang Xiu smacked his lips and said, "Don't you regret leaving your life here like this?"

As he spoke, the leader of the Euphorbias punched the gun blade, "It's worth sacrificing your life for your comrades! You, on the other hand, are talking nonsense to me. My comrades want to take all the food and grass back."

Zhang Xiu laughed after hearing this, "Didn't you notice that I am the only one here?"

"what"

The leader came back to his senses and realized that there were only Zhang Xiu and the cavalry he brought.

The guy who just called himself Changshan Zhao Zilong has long since disappeared.

"That's my junior brother. If he can't handle the remaining Euphorbias, the old man's years of teaching him marksmanship will be in vain!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu swung his steel gun and started fighting with the leader of the euphorbia warriors again.

"hateful"

The leader of the Euphorbia warriors was determined to die at this moment, and he thought that even if he died, he would drag the bastard in front of him with him to the underworld.

One night later, in the Chinese army camp, Gongsun Zan looked at the generals with an annoyed look, and then asked, "What were the losses last night?"

After hearing this, the quartermaster quickly looked at the book in his hand and said, "Our army suffered few casualties. Liu Zhoumu's men lost about a few hundred people, but they killed about 200 enemies and also killed General Wen Chou. In addition, Zilong led troops to pursue, Dozens of soldiers were lost, but [-] euphorbia warriors were captured, including one innate leader. In addition, some food and grass were also taken back!"

After listening to the quartermaster's words, Gongsun Zan turned to look at Liu Bei, "Xian brother, how much food and grass have been lost?"

"Two thousand loads!"

Liu Bei's tone was very relaxed, "Although two thousand tons of grain and grass were taken away, with the size of Yuan Shao's army, these two thousand tons of grain and grass cannot last long."

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zan couldn't help but frown, "In this way, Yuan Shao's traitors will be able to retreat soon!"

While everyone was discussing, a sharp voice came, "The imperial edict has arrived!"

Upon hearing this voice, the expressions of everyone in the tent changed, and they stood up to welcome the angel into the tent.

The angel recited the imperial edict, and the general meaning was to dissuade Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao from stopping the war and making peace, and rewarded each of them with some property, and ordered Gongsun Zan to be named the shepherd of Youzhou, and Yuan Shao to be the shepherd of Jizhou. If there is no major incident, they should not provoke war. .

After hearing this, Gongsun Zan thought for a moment, then accepted the imperial edict and said, "I accept the edict, Gongsun Zan!"

The angel immediately said a few words and then fled from here.

Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Zan's appearance, stepped forward and asked, "Brother Bogui, now that you have accepted the order, I will go back to Qingzhou first!"

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zan nodded and said, "That's fine, Xuande, you are now the shepherd of Qingzhou, it's time to go back and take care of Qingzhou!"

"I'm afraid that if the prefects of Qingzhou's prefectures and counties are dissatisfied, I will also have a headache!"

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Gongsun Zan smiled heartily, "This is simple, Zilong!"

A young general in white robes walked out of the crowd, cupped his fists and saluted, "The general is here!"

Gongsun Zan waved his hand, "Take a thousand white horses and follow them to help my brother Xuande and conquer the counties in Qingzhou. When the time comes, we will calculate the merits together!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Hearing Gongsun Zan's words, Liu Bei saluted with fists in his hands.

Gongsun Zan smiled and said, "It's okay, but my dear brother, Youzhou is a bitter and cold place. When the time comes, I won't be able to rely on your food and grass support as my brother!"

"Of course I understand this!"

Liu Bei continued to salute and said, "Brother Bogui, if you have any unused horses, I hope you can help me prepare some."

The two communicated for a while, then left the boundary bridge and returned to their respective states and counties.

Half a month later, in Pingyuan County, Liu Beiduan was sitting in a high position, and his always kind face couldn't help but look a little ugly.

"Brother, except for Kong Wenju, the other prefects refuse to recognize you as a Qingzhou shepherd!"

As Guan Yu spoke, a strange look appeared on his face.

"His grandma's!"

Zhang Fei rarely cursed, "My eldest brother is now a state pastor conferred by the imperial court. Why do these prefects dare to act like this!"

Liu Ming interrupted at this time, "Except for Donglai County, which is now the base camp of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, the seven counties in Qingzhou, the rest of the Leling County, the four counties of Jinan, Qi, and Le'an are probably all dissatisfied with Big Brother. Bar!"

After listening to Liu Ming's words, Tian Feng and Jia Xu couldn't help but look at Liu Ming.

Jia Xu asked curiously, "Gongquan, if it were you, how would you conquer these four counties?"

Liu Ming moved his neck and said, "Just beat him until he is subdued! Otherwise, there is no other way."

"You call this wisdom!"

Tian Feng and Jia Xu silently rolled their eyes, but they also knew that Liu Ming was telling the truth.

“But you also have to master the level!”

Liu Ming continued, "Now we have a large territory but few manpower. It is simply impossible to control the entire Qingzhou with our own manpower. We have to rely on the prefects to help our lord!"

Listening to Liu Ming's explanation, Liu Bei's face turned ugly. The lack of manpower has always been his biggest weakness.

At this moment, a small soldier rushed in and said, "Reporting to Sir Zhou Mu, there are two scholars and a drunkard outside the door who want to see you!"

After listening to Xiao Bing's words, Zhang Fei said angrily, "Those two scholars are nothing more than what a drunkard is doing here to see my elder brother!"

Liu Bei quickly asked, "Have you told the names of those three?"

"The two scholars are a pair of uncles and nephews named Xun Yu and Xun You, while the drunkard calls himself Guo Jia!"

Listening to the words of the messenger, Liu Ming's mind suddenly heard the words of the Confucian incarnation, "Hurry up and invite people, these three are top talents!"

At the same time, Liu Bei looked at Liu Mingdao, "Gong Quan, is this person the person you mentioned?"

"I think it's him!"

After listening to Liu Ming's words, Liu Bei immediately stood up and said, "Regardless of whether it is true or not, I have to go and have a look!"

"Big brother!"

Liu Ming said quickly, "You can't move lightly. I'd better go and invite someone."

"What is this called!"

Liu Bei said angrily, "In the past, Zhou Gongdan would spit out his food three times in order to find talented people, so as not to miss the talented people. Why should I be too high and mighty for the sake of face?"

After saying that, Liu Bei and Liu Ming rushed out immediately.

Seeing Liu Bei's appearance, the others quickly chased after him.

At this time, outside the government office, a man looked at the older man beside him and said, "Uncle, do you and I really want to take refuge in Liu Xuande?"

The older man said, "Yes, although there are many princes in the world today, Liu Xuande is the only one who cares about the emperor. Otherwise, he would not have sent Liu Gongquan to Chang'an to assassinate Dong Zhuo! Moreover, he is also the governor of a state, and we have taken refuge in him." He is not considered a condescending talent!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, the drunkard on the side held a wine gourd and said, "What are you uncles and nephews worried about? Haven't we all seen the development of Pingyuan County along the way? In the eyes of the people of this county, Liu Xuande Here, they are almost worshiped as gods. Especially in this Pingyuan County, you and I have seen in the past few days that every household has almost stopped picking up things on the road and closed their doors at night. It can be seen from this that Liu Xuande is a wise master of the generation. As for the background of the sergeants, Liu Bei brought [-] troops to Jieqiao some time ago to help Gongsun Zan resist Yuan Shao, which shows the strength of his soldiers and horses."
